Mom brings her box. Irfan throws and breaks it. Zara is stunned. Coins and some money falls out. Irfan asks Zara tell me how you want to celebrate this success of yours? Mom says you are now so grown up that dont even ask us, what was the need to do all this? Zara says I joined board because of my father, some people were targeting him so I had to tell them that my father is not alone and his daughter is no less than any son, I accept that I took this decision alone and if someone does any bad to my father then I will take another decision like that, she wipes her tears and leaves. Irfan cries sadly.

Kabir says to Shahbaz that you said yes to Ruksar for marriage? Shahbaz says last decision is yours, what you want will happen, I wanted to congratulate on Irfan’s resignation. Kabir says he didnt resign? Shahbaz says Khalid messaged me, Kabir says Irfan fined him for that, the game you played, Irfan and his daughter played it.. Zara makes people in her favor, she made Shaista resign and take her place. Shahbaz says see you were taking their side and what they did now. Kabir says what you did was wrong too, they did wrong too so I wont take any side, but that girl coming to board was very wrong like that.
Shahbaz says they can try to form alliance against us but when it comes to politics, Irfan is like an infant to me.. tell your mom that we have to go somewhere, just see what I do.
Irfan meets lawyer and says make a case on media groups that are under Shahbaz’s orders so they will come to their senses. Door bell rings. Shahbaz enters his house with his family.

Shahbaz says I have brought marriage proposal of Kabir for your daughter Zara, I am looking for people that have respect like us so we want Zara to become our daughter in law..
Irfan is stunned. Shahbaz says I thought about this before too but then I thought that your honor, your position is high that we lower respected people cant make relation with you but.. I realized that you are a jerk. Irfan is stunned.
Zara makes tea for Kabir’s mother Ayesha. Ayesha says when you came home that day, I didnt see you well but you are so pretty. Ayesha asks Zara’s mom if she is miffed with them? Mom says your husband made our daughter’s picture go in newspaper, destroyed our respect and we cant even be miffed? Ayesha says you have right, whatever they did, I feel that they shouldnt drag us in all this.
Shahbaz says to Irfan that you are way ahead of us in politics but you know what can happen to your daughter.. so you accept this marriage proposal?
Mom says to Ayesha that whatever happened was not nice but I am sure that one day God will bring best marriage proposal for her. Ayesha offers her tea.
Irfan says to Shahbaz that dont forget that I am head priest of this city, on my one call, people can throw you out of city easily so I suggest you to drink this tea and go back home. Shahbaz says now you are threatening? you have become human from an angel.
Ayesha says to mom that men can do their politics but we women will have good relation. Zara greets her, Ayesha says be happy always.
Irfan says to Shahbaz that if you are eyeing head priests’s position then I will not let you or your any men become head. Shahbaz gets angry and mistakenly spills tea. Ayesha comes there. Shahbaz says we are leaving but think about what I said, he leaves.

Ayesha says to Shahbaz that no I dont agree with this proposal, we cant bring darkness to someone’s house to light ours, you have to tell me why you are doing this? Shahbaz says tell me one thing, we were on page that Kabir will become head priest but Irfan doesnt want to make anyone related to me as head, I have given him a proposal, if he says no then whole city will know that he doesnt want to keep good relation with us. Ayesha is stunned and says we dont have to tell the world, its our personal matter. Shahbaz says its a public matter, you just prepare Kabir’s engagement with Ruksar, leave rest all to me. Ayesha is tensed.
Kabir is in office, he sees Zara there. Kabir says to Zara that its strange, office closes at 7PM and its 7:15PM, you are still here.

She says I want to reopen that case, he says do that in daylight, in evenings, you only plot tricks. Zara says I am helping that poor woman and kid, that couple wants to live together. Kabir says they dont laws, board members have studied many books to give decisions.
Zara says the those books are useless if they cant help others. She turns to leave with file. Kabir says you cant take any file out of board office even if you are head priest’s daughter. Zara puts it back and says okay then I will do debate on this topic in daylight and infront of all board members with you in a few days. She leaves, Kabir looks on.
Irfan tells the head priest, Peer, he doesn’t know what’s going on there. Peer says he knows everything and he is coming to meet them.
Peer tells Irfan, nation got divided, Zara’s pictures came in newspaper and he let everything happen? Ifran says he tried a lot to talk to Shahbaz, but he didn’t listen. Peer says he’s doing all that because he wants to make Kabir Lucknow’s Kazi. Zara comes to meet Peer. Peer gives her blessings. Zara complains that her father emotionally blackmails her. Peer says he will take his class. Zara says she has complain for Kabir too. Peer asks her to call Shahbaz.

They can’t go against what he says. They leave.
They arrive at Zara’s house. Kabir and Zara look at each other. Shahbaz greets Peer and introduces Kabir to him. Peer asks Zara to take Kabir outside. He wants to talk to their fathers alone. Kabir says he will go himself. They leave.
Peer shows his disappointment with both of them. He blames them for dividing nation in two. Shahbaz says Irfan can’t take harsh decision. Irfan says he is against the fight for no valid reason. Shahbaz replies that you don’t get all rights sitting home, sometimes you need to go out on street. Irfan says they could solve that by talking, he didn’t need to bring his family in that matter. Irfan informs that Shahbaz came with Kabir’s alliance with Zara to insult them.
Outside, Zara and Kabir are staring at each other.
